Mission Statement

The Preschool Ministry of West Jackson Baptist Church exists to provide a secure, nurturing environment for preschoolers where biblical truths are taught and to assist families in leading their children to a personal faith in JESUS CHRIST and to develop them into devoted followers.

Objectives

“And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.”

(Luke 2:52, NIV)

Our objectives for the growth of preschoolers are based on the fact that preschoolers grow just as Jesus grew – mentally (in wisdom), physically (in stature), socially/emotionally (in favor with man), and spiritually (in favor with God).

Therefore we seek to:

• Lay a strong spiritual foundation in the life of each preschooler we teach, with the hope that when older, each child will accept Christ as Savior.

• Help preschoolers begin to understand

God is creator, giver of all good things;

Jesus is God’s Son and our best friend; and the

Bible is the true, special book that tells about God and Jesus.

• Make church a happy, clean, and safe place to learn Bible truths.

• Provide activity-based teaching, which includes Bible-learning activities that allow preschoolers to make progress in problem solving, sharing, expressing themselves in appropriate ways, thinking of others with kindness, and learning to love others as themselves.

• Partner with the home in nurturing the spiritual growth of the young child.

• Encourage parents/guardians to actively participate in worship, Bible study, fellowship, and ministry opportunities.
